Experimenting with Bird Beaks

Ms. Hughes’ and Ms. Miolan’s fourth-grade students at Centre Avenue have
been hard at work learning about animal adaptations. Students recently
had the opportunity to investigate how the bodies of animals help them
meet their needs with a beak experiment. With that, they explored
different tools that mimicked bird's beaks, and then had to try to pick
up food with the different tools. Based on their observations, students
were able to conclude why bird beaks are different shapes.
